BITSA Discusses Taiwanese Identity

Both La and Lin suggested that the conference would be even better were it held over an entire weekend, not just on one day.

"It was a lot of information for a day," Lin said.

Saturday's conference provided students with a wealth of information about Taiwanese-American issues, but it also gave students with a chance to get to know each other, Young said.

"Besides the meals, the panels, and the concert, there was a lot of networking going on, a lot of Taiwanese-Americans getting to know each other and realizing there is a pretty large community of Taiwanese-Americans," he said.

Organizers felt the conference was a success.

"The conference really exceeded all expectations," Young said, "just in terms of the number of people that ended up coming, the quality of the speakers, and the quality of the discussions, and just the general enthusiasm of the conference, as highlighted by the concert."

Seventeen committee members and 30 support staff members from the Harvard-Radcliffe Taiwanese Cultural Society helped organize the conference.
